We set the benchmark for trust, quality, and fitness for use, of construction materials and systems across the building sector.
We enable the go-to-market of the most innovative products and services in trust.
SECO Belgium NV SA is a BELAC-accredited control body for the production of construction materials and systems within the framework of certification.
SECO may also be called upon to carry out batch inspections of products or technical assessments to issue a documented opinion on innovative products/systems, processes, or services.
We offer standards guidance upstream of product innovations to facilitate their market entry and elevate quality.
We also offer guidance during the implementation of processes, management systems, or any other service in the construction sector.
We issue attestations validating that a given product complies with specific technical requirements for the relevant application within a defined context. This facilitates the rapid and safe use of innovative products.
A process attestation can also be issued to confirm the implementation of an internal quality system, for example, in the context of reused materials (e.g. Safety in Circularity).
Upon requests, we draw up the specifications for the tests to be carried out on materials and construction systems, depending on their application.
We assess the conformity of materials and construction systems to standards using methods that comply with international standards and are controlled by the competent authorities, mainly in the context of certification.
We organise training courses as part of specific certifications or systems and support our customers in achieving these.
We provide the testing and inspection services that are a prerequisite for certification by BCCA and other accredited bodies.
Furthermore, SECO Belgium is an approval operator within UBAtc in the context of technical approvals with certification (ATG).
Finally, SECO Belgium acts as an inspection body in the context of BENOR certification.
As part of regional, national and European research projects (Horizon projects), SECO actively makes its high-level technical expertise available for tomorrow’s construction products and systems. It also trains its engineers in techniques and technologies of the future. This knowledge is then made available to customers for their own innovations and developments.
